Gold prices fall again within 24 hours

Gold prices in the country have been reduced again within 24 hours, with a decrease of Tk 2,216 per bhori, according to the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS).

The revised rates came into effect from 10:00am on Wednesday (April 29), said a BAJUS press release.

Under the new pricing, 22-carat gold is now set at Tk 2,42,495 per bhori (11.664 grams). The price of 21-carat gold has been fixed at Tk 2,31,472, while 18-carat gold stands at Tk 1,98,405 per bhori. Traditional gold is priced at Tk 1,61,605 per bhori.

BAJUS said the adjustment was made following a decline in the local price of pure gold in the international and domestic markets.

This comes a day after gold prices were also reduced by Tk 2,216 per bhori on Tuesday (April 28), when 22-carat gold was priced at Tk 244,711.
